Give key workers two weeks EXTRA annual leave - As a thank you during COVID-19.
I would like to suggest all key workers are given an extra two weeks paid annual leave from the government, this is to be taken once the COVID-19 has improved and declared safe to do so
As a thank you for all their hard work, commitment and for keeping our country going during this difficult time
I would like the Government or Parliament to implement this suggestion for all key workers working hard during the COVID-19 period. We are all still going to work every day to provide, serve & safe lives for the British public, while putting ourselves and other family members in danger every time we leave our homes. (we are all proud to be key workers, well done to each and every one of you)
This would be a nice gesture for all us key workers to take some time off and unwind once safe to do so.
